How to Be An Ally During Disability Pride Month: Include Disabled People, Rather Than Assuming They Can't Join You
Whether or not your disabled friends and loved ones will be able to join you in activities, it's the right move to invite them. "Support your disabled friend by including them in everything," Charlotte Bramford, founder of @living.with.me.cfs ,suggests. "They may not be able to take part in all events, they may have to cancel at the last minute if symptoms flare."
In addition to the invitation, she says that if someone cancels, you should "be understanding and realize that it doesn’t mean they don’t want to be involved." In time, you'll have better luck keeping your disabled friends close without either of you feeling pressured socially. A relaxed attitude is ideal for everyone.
